ND has the worse loss off all these teams against Northern Illinois and they are probably going to be gifted the coveted 5 seed. An easy path to the semifinal.

How do the Panthers have this angle but the NFL doesn't. Clearly a catch.
Boise State, Penn State, SMU, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Miami shouldn't get in by your standard. None of those have any big wins and ND has a terrible loss against NIU. Let's just put all these crappy 3 loss SEC teams in.
Who should get in over them? Alabama who got beaten down by a bad Oklahoma team and has lost 3 games. Indiana had the two national championship teams on their schedule and it is somehow their fault they suck this year. One of the highest margins of victory and they can't control their Big 10 schedule. At least they didn't lose to a MAC team like the overrated Notre Dame.
Rourke came back today after having surgery on his thumb less than two weeks ago and was slinging it with a modified glove on his thumb. Guy is tough as nails too. I am an IU fan and this has been a magical season. Makes up for how bad this Panthers team is
If we are talking about Big Ten QBs Kurtis Rourke is better. He is a big guy as well and has been excellent this year. You may be able to get him on day 3.
